Greetings everyone, thank you for having me!
I posted a couple weeks ago about our rooster who suddenly became sick. (I'm unable to find that post anywhere here.)
At first he wasn't eating or drinking so I brought him inside for a few nights and gave him a warm bath. I checked him over for pests and couldn't find any, or any visible injuries either.
Well, he started eating again and I thought he was recovering. I was mistaken because he's got a problem with his left thigh. He favors it and limps really bad on that side when he walks. He's only about 1.5 years old. While he's eating and drinking, I can tell he's ill because he hardly crows, sits in the shade all day, and his tail feathers drool very low. Most of the time they're nearly dragging the ground. His eyes are clear and bright, his lungs sound clear as well. It's just his gimpy leg.
I wormed the whole flock as soon as I noticed that he was ill.
I gave him some supplement that's made for horses in the advice of our local farmers Co-op. It was Red-Cell homogenized something-er-other. Other than that I've not changed anything. I noticed when I put them away for the evening that he seemed to be lablring to breathe, like all of his tail feathers were rising and falling as he'd take breaths in/out.
Any suggestions on what to do next?
